Absinthe Tour 2012, New York, NY

Survived my first trip to New York. It was a very enjoyable experience thanks to all of you here and my girlfriend Deeann. I had lots to say so I opted to post it on my blog. No, I am not popular. No I make no money. Yes, I like to think I am a blogger.

Glad you enjoyed PDT and Astor Wines. Yes, PDT doesn't have the greatest selection, but the experience is not to be equaled easily. Next time I go (maybe even next week) I'll have to try one of their amazing cocktails.

You are my new best friend. Before doing the whole MMA thing I studied knife based martial arts for quite some time. It looks like you are getting into the real deal as well. Many Kudos for that, it can't be easy.

Well I made a couple. I have some good friends that make some amazing knives. I love custom knives. Lots to learn and keep me interested. I just moved from the house into an apartment so my workshop is on hold for a while.

My pleasure. I'm sure everyone at Maison Premiere was as kind to you as they were to us. I can't wait for my next opportunity to visit.

That is an excellent adventure, Ron Gallant. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Joe, the service was impeccable. However, after three absinthe, I wasn't. I so wanted a picture by the fountain. The guy I asked said I couldn't go behind the bar. It was some rule. I gave him a hard time over it. All in good fun. I still got one, but from outside the bar. Oh well. HA HA
